Grossman and her coauthors then equip educators with ten key practices that serve these goals. These practices include methods to elicit higher-order thinking, to engage students in disciplinary and interdisciplinary practice, and mentor student decision making. The authors guide educators from a clear starting place through a series of concrete, manageable steps that apply whether they are initiating PBL or working to improve existing PBL implementation. Extended case studies illustrate the use of the core practices in real-world situations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCore Practices for Project-Based Learning\u003c\/i\u003e is an invaluable resource to help educators realize their instructional vision and create meaningful student experiences.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eCore Practices for Project-Based Learning\u003c\/i\u003e offers a framework and essential set of strategies for successfully implementing project-based learning (PBL) in the classroom.
